      Tight budget = No profi tools

      Get a Bakku hot air station with two soldering terminals and buy a bunch of different tips in a larger quantity as they are cheap, buy quality tin wire, flux and chemicals, and as for the microscope buy an cheap Chinese USB microscope and get a nice and bright LED movable light as well as non corrosive non magnetic quality set of tweezers. Just with that you´re good to go.

              dont suggest to buy hotair with solder iron.
              that iron have low wattage. better buy independent solder iron with thermoregulation

                  A good station for me is ersa rds80 , not for intensive work.

                          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                          What soldering station should I purchase for 900M-TJ-I tip?
                          by chth96
                          hello.
                          A few months ago,I have purchased 0.1mm Soldering Iron Tip of below aliexpress link,But I noticed that It is totally impossible to use this 0.1mm iron tip in the T12 soldering station
                          https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/4001275635593.html
                          Is there any good soldering station which is possible to use 900M-TJ-I tip and have inexpensive or reasonable price in aliexpress?
                          Any reply would be appreciated.

                          KSGER C245 Soldering station PSU 220V only?
                          by mkbehbeh
                          I purchased this soldering station when it was on sale at amazon. It had a slew of one star reviews, but the price was low enough that even if the controller and PSU were toast, the handle tips and stand were worth more than the price. All of the reviews mentioned that the unit was either DOA, or died on the first use. I looked on Aliexpress and the first clue was that KSGER still sold the 220V version of this station, but all of the 110V versions had been discontinued. I figured That there was a problem with the 110V on the power suppply and the controller would be fine.

                          I am...

                          Yihua 992DA+ Hot air gun and soldering rework station, burnt mark
                          by Peter_1402
                          Hi Everyone,
                          I bought a Yihua 992DA+ hot air gun and soldering iron unit from a used market.
                          1. Soldering iron works great
                          2. There is a burnt mark on the hot air gun handle.
                          I am a bit concern by the look of the melted plastic. I opened the hot air gun handle and took some readings with a multimeter.
                          Heating element ~ 75ohm. (Similar reading taken from a spare heating element that came with the unit.)
                          Thermocouple ~ 1.5ohm. (Similar reading from the spare heating element.)
                          Reed switch tested ok with a magnet.
                          From the above test, I can conclude...

                          Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
                          by Docus
                          Hi everyone 😀,

                          I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

                          To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

                          Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
                          1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.
                          ...
